I made this recipe exactly as stated (using the white wine) and found it to be kind of sweet. I was hoping for that "chinese take-out" flavor. Maybe I should have tried adding other spices but I don't know what ones to add. The recipe is very easy and quick to make, though.

This was excellent. I used white wine vinegar instead of white wine or apple juice. I found the vinegar taste strong so I added more sugar...a tablespoon or so more. The sauce stuck to the fry pan while I was cooking, it is helpful to have a glass of water at your side to dump in as you need it.

Yummy, but with some changes. I had no pea pods and forgot to add the broccoli, but instead I added celery and threw in some Shitake mushrooms while cooking the meat, which gave the dish unbelievable added flavor. Also, I added plenty of ground ginger, ground mustard, garlic, dash of red pepper, green onions and some sesame oil. With all of my additions my family found this dish to be great!

This was awesome. I have already given this recipe to all my friends and family. I did make a few changes, I did not add any pea pods and water chestnuts but added 2 sliced onions instead of chopped onions and added 2 tablespoons of chopped garlic. I also doubled the sauce recipe as suggested. I will be making this very often. Delicious!!!!
